I have to agree with Don when he says that the genie is out of the bottle, the government could grab every registered firearm in this country tomorrow and that would accomplish.... nothing. The fact is that there are just too many weapons out there, just look at immigration, we can't stop that and if you don't think that people will be smuggling guns across the border from Mexico if the government up and bans privately held legal firearms you're crazy, the prices will immediately go through the roof and as we've seen with alcohol and drugs prohibition simply does not work. Criminals don't care that drugs are prohibited and they won't care that guns are prohibited, someone is always going to be there ready and willing to meet the demand for illegal goods. All it's going to do is make things harder on your average law abiding citizen, filling jails and prisons with good people who want to be able to secure their homes and defend their families is not the answer to this problem.

[QUOTE="Muadib, post: 148955, member: 5463"] I have to agree with Don when he says that the genie is out of the bottle, the government could grab every registered firearm in this country tomorrow and that would accomplish.... nothing. The fact is that there are just too many weapons out there, just look at immigration, we can't stop that and if you don't think that people will be smuggling guns across the border from Mexico if the government up and bans privately held legal firearms you're crazy, the prices will immediately go through the roof and as we've seen with alcohol and drugs prohibition simply does not work. Criminals don't care that drugs are prohibited and they won't care that guns are prohibited, someone is always going to be there ready and willing to meet the demand for illegal goods. All it's going to do is make things harder on your average law abiding citizen, filling jails and prisons with good people who want to be able to secure their homes and defend their families is not the answer to this problem.
